Oranjedorp is a village in the Netherlands and it is part of the Emmen municipality in Drenthe.
Oranjedorp started to develop when the Oranjekanaal [nl] was completed in 1858, and peat exploitation started in the area.[3] In 1867, it was first mentioned as Oranjedorp.[4] Even though the postal authorities have placed it under Nieuw-Dordrecht.[5] it is considered a village.[3][6] In 1932, it was home to 932 people.[7] No church was built in Oranjedorp.[3]
In 1988, a gas desulfurization plant of the Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij [nl] opened in Oranjedorp,[8] and industry started to move to the village.[3]
